2021 Finlandia Trophy: Men's Short Program

[Ichatdelune]

Hands on your heart Ichat, was this worth your time, energy and effort to stay up? No? Then why did you do that? Please excuse Ichat while Ichat punishes Ichat

 

[Lamente Ariane]

So did anyone call Camden being this high?

 

[flanker]

Last season as if the russian men finally gained the jumping stability. But the start of this season is returning us to the "bad old days"...

Mishin suffering painfully behind the boards...

 

[Paulipau]

This is a splatfest

 

[ana]

Misha and Evgeni

 

[Artemisa]

Russian men's being russian men's ..

 

[elektra blue]

so the only one who didn't mess things up was...Messing?

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Camden squeaks into the final group! I think.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

But somehow he doesn't look broken in the K&C.

Well he got quite generous scores for the skate he put out there. He is probably pleasantly surprised.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Evgeni, save the honour of Mishin's team.

Nah—that will be Liza who does that. Ladies are made of stronger stuff

 

[moonvine]

so the only one who didn't mess things up was...Messing?

Yes. My man once again saved the day.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

so the only one who didn't mess things up was...Messing?

Messing wasn’t messing around

 

[Ichatdelune]

And now finally Ichat can go to bed. It's 3:21 am, she has work tomorrow (and therefore will be missing JGP pairs SP), and she almost forgot to take her stabilizers. Bless all the lovely folks who kept her company and helped her through this mess. Love you all, and now

 

[flanker]

Well he got quite generous scores for the skate he put out there. He is probably pleasantly surprised.

It was before the scoring was revealed.

 

[Ruthypegs]

so the only one who didn't mess things up was...Messing?

He's like Samson - he gets his strength from his hair!

 

[karne]

now for a couple of hours more sleep before work.

 

[Seven Sisters]

So did anyone call Camden being this high?

I have seen him skate really well in the SP before—only to have a less than stellar FS

To me, the surprise is Majorov. Not that I was able to see his skate, but…

 

[TontoK]

These protocols should be interesting, because the scores are not lining up with what I witnessed.

It's not just placements, because let's be honest, it was a mess, and aside from a few, hard to differentiate between them. It's the surprisingly high scores awarded to some of these men.

 

[moonvine]

And Tabitha’s new fave in what? 7th?

 

[LadyB]

The (FS) world won't stop turning and there are plenty of opportunities to show one's metal this season. Onwards and upwards for the Russian boys and well done, Jason. He's Team Orser after all.
